Argentine Delights Conquer Europe: The Success of Raúl González
Raúl created "Tío Bigotes," now a well-established brand of Argentine empanadas in Barcelona. In Argentina, he had the same type of business, but economic ups and downs hindered the progress of his venture. He arrived in Spain with 7,000 euros and a desire to forge a new future there with his knowledge. But every process takes time, and after three years, the brand started taking off and building its trajectory. Today, Raúl has 11 locations and is about to open a dozen more in both Madrid and Portugal.
Passion for Ice Cream: The Case of Violeta Edelman
She is Argentine and fell in love with Robb Duncan, an American. When Robb tried Argentine ice cream in Buenos Aires, he not only fell in love with our flavors but also with Violeta. They ended up living together in Washington, where they decided to open an ice cream shop called Dolcezza. The early years were not easy, but today they have over 5 ice cream locations in Washington, and their brand is available in 3,500 supermarkets across the United States and 150 restaurants.
The Best of Both Worlds: The Story of Laura Avilés
Laura is the owner of the publishing house Páginas Libros de Magia and decided to open her own store called "Paréntesis de olvido" in Madrid. With a different focus, combining the world of magic and the world of tea, Laura set out to conquer the demanding Spanish market. That's why she stands out in the quality and variety of tea, which, combined with magic, provides a unique experience for customers. Through creating a welcoming atmosphere, her store has become a reference point for tea and magic enthusiasts.
